a few random thoughts

Just heard "Falling Slowly" from Once on the Oscars...if you haven't heard the song yet, by all means listen to it, and if you haven't seen the movie, well...if you can handle lots of the f-bomb, see it soon. Anyhow....

Quick update. We took MA to the allergist a few weeks ago, and he diagnosed her chronic runny nose as a symptom of acid reflux which apparently she still suffers from....which would explain the runny nose, the constant ear infections even after tubes, and the random waking up/screaming episodes we have at 3 in the morning...SO, we've already seen her nose start to dry up. We're waiting for the sleep issues to subside, but after 2 1/2 years, they're pretty ingrained, so pray for us as we continue plodding along! Poor kiddo.

I need to paint our room...any suggestions for a soothing color?

Enjoy the random extra day we get this week! I always say I could use an extra day every week, so I'll have to see if I can take advantage of the weirdness of the 29th on Friday.

Hey girl! So sorry to hear about the allergy issues! Hope things clear up soon. Re: paint colors- my new fav is Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage. I think it is one of the colors they use on their walls in the store & catalog. It's really nice! You should check it out.

poor MA. i'll be praying for y'all.
here's a funny story - max saw the pic of your girls on your blog. he asked who they were. i said, "that's Miss K & MA....wait...um...." i'm so used to reading their "blog names," it took me a few seconds to think of their real names :)

we painted our bedroom sage grey (by behr). after it dried, the color looked more blue/grey than green/grey. i really love it! i just looked it up & it appears to be discontinued. but it's very similar to behr's "smokey slate" & "southern breeze."

OOoohh! Good recommendations all around, girls. I'm liking the idea of a sagey something or rather...with silvery/gray tones sounds so pretty, too! ;o) Lin, you're a good sport about the paint drying a different color. Stuff like that makes me crazy sometimes...
